Imagine the azure blue skies of summer fading
to a hazy white as light-scattering aerosols are injected into Earth’s
upper atmosphere. Imagine a planet covered with giant artificial
chemical sponges leeching gases out of the air that we breathe. Imagine
filling the Earth’s oceans with millions of pounds of calcium
bicarbonate to alter the levels of acidification.
On paper (or, well, on screen) these
suggestions smack more than a little of the more apocalyptic,
megalomaniacal James Bond movie plots of the 1970s.
Watch the movie 'Snow Piercer' for further reference.
